HELIOS Rising Heroes: Animation Showcase
Project Overview
"Welcome to New Million, the city where a million dreams come true!"
HELIOS Rising Heroes (HeliosR) is a mobile RPG/hero management game for Android and iOS by Happy Elements K.K. & Cacalia Studio. It was officially released for Japan in August of 2020.
500 years ago, a high energy source called “Substance” from outer space dropped on the state of MILLION, bringing unlimited resources to Earth which at the time was depleted from natural resources. Although it may seem that “Substance” is a blessing, it was also the source of world-spread disasters.
To face the eminent threat, the state of MILLION established a strategic department called “HELIOS” and entrusted the energy crystals discovered from the “Substance” to a trusted few. “Heroes” are then born to save the world and to bring in peace.
Why make this fandub?
1. There are no preexisting English voices, and there may never be
Japan normally does not localize "josei-muke" games (games aimed at a female audience) outside of Asia, since they are not generally popular to a western audience.
Happy Elements' most successful game, Ensemble Stars!, has not seen an English localization in over 5 years. Cacalia Studio (subsidiary of Happy Elements) has shown no interest in translating their games. Overseas fans have had to rely on unofficial fan translations.
Thus, the chances of an English localization/dub of HeliosR are slim to none.
2. High-quality visuals
The production budget is relatively high for a mobile game. Battle sprites are 2D full-body accompanied by detailed effects. Four star Heroes (highest rarity) have a special burst skill that includes a short anime-style cut-scene.
3. English words in-game
English voices would not feel out of place. Most of the characters have English names, English text & loan words can be found in the script, and many elements of the UI are already in English.
About the project
Type: Fandub / Unpaid / Non-profit
Please understand that this is unpaid because it is solely a hobby passion project of content I do not own.
Length: One-shot (~30min long video)
Commitment: Short-term
Scope: Covers the 15 rookie and mentors' original battle lines and animations (not including event skins). Heroes will be shown in teams of four by sector. It will also include a couple of selected lines from the “Battle”, "Union Attacks”, and "Quest Result" interactions. The credits may feature an additional line from each Hero.
Script: Unofficial fan translation of the Japanese lines. Each role has an average of 100 words or roughly 20 lines which are mostly short phrases.
Expectations: Since this project is much different from previous things I’ve done, unfortunately there are no expectations when it comes to engagement. The video will be uploaded on YouTube, and I will attempt to share it in the Cacalia RPG discord and potentially Niconico.
Project progress
The battle lines have been manually translated myself. The work (and basically the entire script for this project) can be found here: HELIOS Rising Heroes「エリオスR」English Translation - Battle Lines
Parts of the script are currently being revised to sound more natural and to best fit the animations. The audition lines are excerpts of the script that are already finalized. I also used some preexisting translations for this casting call.
- Game Summary is from TvTropes
- HERO FILES translations are from twitter @HeliosR_en (with a couple of edits)
I will be the voice director in charge of casting as well as the video/audio editor. Currently, the footage for two of the sectors have been fully recorded and in the editing phase, and I am working on the other two sectors. Everything is also in place should re-recording be necessary. There has been a lot of work behind-the-scenes!
Casting & audition info
Requirements:
- Good or better quality mic (USB is acceptable in a treated environment)
- Minimal background noise, reverb, and peaking
- Effort (there are battle lines meant to be shouted!)
- Communication (CCC, discord, or email)
- Willingness to follow written direction and attempt to match provided time frames
Google Docs version: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18RfWtFd2hWu5tw_Lq4TI_Dvpan2AqGdWEc0KlRrT2ik/edit?usp=sharing
Voice actors who wish to audition privately can visit the above link for instructions.
Feedback will no longer be given via CCC.
Voice actors can audition for as many roles as they wish. As far as double-casting goes, the only rule is that no two Heroes in the same sector can have the same voice actor. Personally, I would prefer not to multi-cast at all if possible.
Voice actors are not expected to match the Japanese voices, though they are used as a guideline. For reference, listed below are the brief anime-style cut-scenes from the official twitter @helios_ch:
- South Sector: https://twitter.com/helios_ch/status/1277874513259032580
- North Sector: https://twitter.com/helios_ch/status/1278599289485262848

FINAL DEADLINE: Jan 11th, 2021 @11:59PM EST (UTC-5)
********************************************
Outlook: Potential dub of other HeliosR content?
Although fan translations make it possible, I do not plan to dub other HeliosR content (story, "Cartoon Helios" comic strips, drama CDs, etc.) due to the high workload as well as copyright risks. But if I do decide to move forward in this direction, there would be a separate casting call as voice actors cast for this project are not expected to reprise their role, plus there being additional supporting roles that would need to be filled.
Personal message
It's been a while since I've done a fandub! HeliosR is much different than my previous projects, so it’s a bit nerve-wracking to take a risk, but at the same time may also come with new opportunities. I hope it’ll interest some of you as well! (I mean, superheroes anyone?!)
Despite being just a fandub, I am taking this project seriously and will do my best to ensure a high-quality project. Most importantly, I want to remain faithful to the original. Bringing these characters to life comes first and foremost!
Thank you for your interest in HeliosR. I hope we can make this project the best it can be. Good luck to all auditionees!

Casting completed
And that's a wrap for this casting call! Thank you for the overwhelming interest in "HELIOS Rising Heroes". I've had the pleasure of hearing so many unique and talented performances throughout these weeks. I've written down many of your names in a personal "scouting list". Even if you weren't chosen for this particular project, perhaps we may work together in another. In the meantime, I hope for everyone to continue to stay safe, and I wish you all luck and success with your endeavors. -
Completed first round of casting (Happy New Year!)
1.) 11/16 roles were cast in the first round. • Keith was cast to an actor who auditioned privately. • Brad was cast to an actor who auditioned on CCC, but did not audition for that role in particular. Arrangements were made to cast them on-site. • All other roles were cast directly on CCC. I look forward to working with everyone! 2.) The second round of casting will work a little differently. The following roles are still open at the time of posting this update: • Will, Victor, Leonard (Junior), Billy • Dino I’m still considering the current auditions, but have remained undecided for now. For Will, Victor, Leonard, and Billy, I also reserve the right to scout for these roles, so they may be closed without warning. Dino will not be cast before the deadline. The final deadline is Jan 11th, 2021 @11:59PM (UTC-5). 3.) Minor edits to roles (3) • Edited Leonard's voice traits slightly. With the addition of Dino, his third line has also been changed. Re-auditioning is not necessary. 4.) I ran out of CCC monthly messages, so I can no longer directly PM voice actors on-site. If you don't want to provide your contact information in your audition, I will view your profile for it or comment mine on your audition when cast. I apologize for the inconvenience. If you would still like feedback on your auditions, feel free to reach out to me and I’ll get back to you whenever I can. -
Initial deadline has passed
I want to thank everyone who auditioned for "HELIOS Rising Heroes: Animation Showcase"! This project blew up more than anticipated! Even the last-day auditions were a delight to listen to. You’ve all made the casting decisions incredibly tough. I hope everyone enjoyed auditioning, and I’m glad that some of you have also taken this as a learning opportunity to improve. I apologize if I wasn’t able to get back to some of you regarding feedback. Due to the high volume of submissions, it may take a couple of days to contact the cast as I will ensure that each and every submission has been reviewed. The casting call will be reopened later (deadline TBA) for any roles that remain undecided, as well as "Dino Albani" who will not be cast yet. Thanks for your patience! -
Added new Hero to casting call
The newly released Hero, Dino Albani has been translated and added to the casting call. This is the last open role for the project.

The Persistent Wild Phoenix
South Sector / Rookie
Age: 18
Substance: Spitfire (pyrokinetic abilities)
He used to be a delinquent, but after being saved by a certain "Hero", he found himself trying to become one due to admiration. Belligerent and short-tempered, he's the type to rush head first into something once he's made up his mind.
He's childhood friends with Ren and Will, often finding himself jealous whenever the latter would clean up his messes even now. On the other hand, he's still unable to see eye-to-eye with his cousin, Ren. He's known Gast since his time as a delinquent.
[VOICE TYPE]
Pitch: Medium
Traits: Fiery, Energetic, Brash, Hot-headed, Short-tempered, Egocentric, Boastful, Simple-minded, Cheerful, Ex-delinquent
Akira has a boisterous and energetic voice that could potentially have a nasal quality to it. When speaking normally, he sounds happy and energetic with a slightly raspy tone. When raising his voice, it’s quite raspy. When annoyed or being moody, he usually speaks under his breath. He’s the type who likes to call himself a genius.

“Thanks, man!”
(In battle, Burst (Regular)) [Raising voice. Pumped]
"I'll charge you head-first!"

Substance: Ever Plant (florakinetic abilities)
Childhood friends with Akira and Ren. He acts as a guardian and chaperone to the ever-spontaneous Akira.
He's a kind of gentle soul, but is prone to worrying and sometimes stubborn at the worst times. He's made it his life goal to ensure Akira doesn't go back to delinquency and is jealous at Gast for being the one looking out for him at that time.
With a big sweet tooth, he'll shrug off anything that pisses him off if you offer him sweets. He's particularly fond of Japanese sweets.
[VOICE TYPE]
Pitch: Medium
Traits: Kind, Caring, Humble, Down-to-earth, Responsible, Diligent, Restless
Will's voice should strike a good balance between soft-spokenness and loudness. When speaking normally, he has a light tone that sounds smooth and gentle. When fighting, he sounds determined and restless. He’s the type who’s always striving to improve, so he ends up putting a lot of pressure onto himself.
(In battle, supporting allies) [Normal speech. Urgent, Pressuring himself]
“I hope to be of use to everyone.”
(In battle, attacking) [Grunt; Shouting. Swinging weapon.]
“HAAH!" "HEEY!" "...HaaAAAAH!”
(After battle, upon victory) [Normal speech. Upset. Context: Akira is bragging about the victory. Will is upset at Akira in a scolding kind of way, and is concerned about not showing respect to his mentors]

The Cast-Iron Ruler
South Sector / Mentor
Age: 28
Substance: Imperial Judge (magnetic ferrokinesis)
The mentor that leads the 13th Training Team.
A calm and cool-headed individual who is extremely strict when it comes to efficiency. With a strong sense of responsibility, he's often viewed as cold-hearted as he's hard to both others as well as himself.
Faith is his little brother by blood, but the two aren't too close to one another. He was in the same year as Keith in the Academy and often gave him candid advice on how to take care of himself.
[VOICE TYPE]
Pitch: Medium-low
Traits: Mature, Leader, Authoritative, Serious, Strict, Proper, Meticulous
Just because Brad is serious, doesn't mean he's emotionless. He keeps up a proper demeanor of a Hero by showing a smile in front of his fans. When scolding, he sounds very rigorous and doesn’t hold back. His strict tone of voice doesn’t seem to change much outside of battle.
(In battle, Burst (Regular)) [Raising voice. Angered.]
“Consign to oblivion without a trace!”
[Shouting. Rigorous.]
“This is a Hero's RESPONSIBILITY!”
(After battle, upon victory) [Normal speech. Proud. Calculative.]

He also has a pet hedgehog named Alexander.
[VOICE TYPE]
Pitch: Low
Traits: Loyal, Mature, Calm, Quiet, Polite, Serious, Stoic, Fearless
Oscar has a deep voice fitting of his stature. When speaking normally, he has a calm, monotone voice that is more on the smooth side. When he’s dead serious, he speaks under his breath. When raising his voice, it shouldn’t be too raspy. He never hesitates to carry out Brad’s instructions.
(In battle, attacking) [Grunt; Shouting. Punching, kicking, and unleashing shock waves.]
“Haah!" "Hmph!" "GrrRRAAAH!”
(In battle, Burst (Regular)) [Dead serious; Under breath. A finishing blow.]
“...It's the end.”

The Avenger That Freezes The Night
North Sector / Rookie
Age: 18
Substance: Absolute Zero (cryokinetic abilities)
A cool misanthrope with not much to say. He used to be bright and cheerful, but after he lost his parents and younger sister due to an attack from "Eclipse", he has since shut his mouth and lost all the brightness in his eyes.
He was taken in by his cousin Akira's family but continues to close his heart. His confrontations with his cousin gradually grew out of hand and he has resided in the Academy's dorms since middle school. He's praised as a prodigious rookie due to his excellent results.
[VOICE TYPE]
Pitch: Medium-low
Traits: Serious, Calm, Quiet, Cold, Blunt, Unsociable, Distant, Proficient, Diligent

The Sky-leaping Big Brother
North Sector / Rookie
Age: 20
Substance: Night Hawk (aerokinetic abilities)
A big brother-type character who is good at taking care of others.
Born from a military family, he was a well-known delinquent back in the days and Akira was one of his beloved underlings.
A mood maker able to pick the situation with a lot of friends, he actively tries to talk to the unsociable Ren.
He wants to be popular and get a girlfriend, but is bad with women after a certain incident in his past.
[VOICE TYPE]
Pitch: Medium-low
Traits: Big brother-like, Easy-going, Chill, Friendly, Caring, Ex-delinquent
Gast has a warm voice with some breathiness that emphasizes his relaxed and friendly nature. He’s the type who wants to get along with everyone and also looks out for them. When raising his voice during battle, he should sound determined and ruthless to reflect his military background.
(In battle, taking damage) [Hurt, but trying to laugh it off]
“Haha… that got me good.”
(In battle, against the opponent) [Shouting; ascending tone. Ruthless]
“You won’t get AWAY!”

Victor Valentine

[HERO FILES]
The Craving Mad Scientist
North Sector / Mentor
Age: 31
Substance: Experiment (molekinetic abilities)
A "Hero" who also holds the title of Doctor.
While an excellent researcher, he decided to become a "Hero" to collect valuable Substance himself. He's brimming with inquisitiveness and takes pleasure in satisfying his thirst for knowledge.
He's known to be a gentleman who seems to always be smiling for some reason. However, he doesn't understand the feelings of others and has rather odd views on the world.
[VOICE TYPE]
Pitch: Medium-low
Traits: Calm, Intelligent, Researcher, Sophisticated, Polite, Perceptive, Eccentric
Victor has a smooth and calming voice that isn’t necessarily loud or soft. He's a little eccentric due to his inability to understand pain and his obsession with Substance. He’s the type who’s quite perceptive and is always curious.
He could potentially have a British accent. (This is not necessary to voice him)
(In battle, supporting allies) [Normal speech. Inspired.]
“I sense a new possibility.”
(In battle, against the opponent) [Raising voice. Serious.]
“It is futile!”
(After battle, upon victory. Context: about cooperation. Victor doesn’t find it necessary.) [Normal speech. Satisfied.]
“Winning is sufficient, is it not? Is there a problem?”

[HERO FILES]
The Beautiful Solitary Rose
North Sector / Mentor
Age: 19
Substance: Bloody Rose (haemokinesis (whip))
He was dubbed HELIOS' star for being the fastest and youngest in history to become a mentor.
While an intellectual brimming with self confidence, he seems to be quite harsh when it comes to his fellow Heroes.
With no parents, he grew up as Dr. Nova's foster son in his laboratory. He seems to be very close to him, as the professor is the only person he opens up to.
His androgynous good looks has garnered him many fans.
[VOICE TYPE]
Pitch: Medium
Traits: Prestigious, Prideful, Unfazed, Cold, Aloof, Perfectionist
Like Ren, Marion’s voice is soft-spoken, but he has the ability to raise his voice when fighting. When speaking normally, he tends to drag out his words slightly and trails off the ends of his sentences (as indicated by ellipses) which emphasizes his egoism. When raising his voice, he sounds determined and fearless, showing less of an "egoist" attitude (there is no need to drag out his words here).
He looks down on those he considers inferior to him, including his own rookie teammates. The key is that his attitude is backed by his abilities.
He could potentially have an androgynous voice - just keep in mind that his voice should lean more towards masculine. (This is not necessary to voice him)
(In battle, Burst (4 stars)) (Meant to be timed with animation, but no need for the sake of auditioning)
[Normal speech; trailing. Calm, confident.]“My lineage is *one* of a kind…”
[Transition: Raising voice, prideful, to Shouting, determined.]
“Consider it an honor to be defeated, by MY OWN HANDS!”
(After battle, upon victory) [Normal speech. Prideful. Context: about cooperation. Marion also doesn’t think it’s necessary.]
“‘Cooperation’ or whatever, it wasn't necessary for me."

[HERO FILES]
The Stuck-Up Spark Boy!
West Sector / Rookie
Age: 16
Substance: Thunder Vortex (electrical discharge)
The super rookie son of a legendary "Hero" who was able to skip a grade and graduate early on his own.
He's very conscious of his presence as a "Hero" and his ideals are just as high. Sadly his short-temper that can explode anytime causes frictions in his relationships with others.
He secretly looks up to Marion who also graduated early like him.
He's spoiled by his older brother who is way older than him and often plays in his band. He's fine with being called "Junior" but "Runt" is no-no.
[VOICE TYPE]
Note: Junior is the type of character who swears. He’s known for throwing around the F-bomb.
Pitch: Medium to medium-high (more on the medium side)
Traits: Energetic, Cool, Flashy, Determined, Serious, Short-tempered, Emotive, Excitable
Junior’s normally chill and happy, but he’s quick to get annoyed at those who don't take being a Hero seriously. When speaking normally, he tends to speak as if raising his voice (to sound cool), yet still has a light tone. When shouting, it's somewhat raspy. He’s the type who can display all sorts of emotions.
He could also have a "trying to sound older than he actually is" tone when speaking, so his lower/annoyed voice sounds more breathy (out of range). His voice only goes medium-high when he's truly shocked or excited about something.
(In battle, receiving aid) [Normal speech. Happy, fearless]
"Nothin’s gonna scare me!”
(In battle, Burst (Regular)) [Transition: Raising voice; ~1-2 seconds long, to Shouting. Charging up, then going all out!]
"HooooaaAAAAH! THUNDER SHOCK!”
(After battle, upon victory. Context: Faith made a joke about him being short so he needs to drink more milk) [Raising voice and Screaming. Extremely pissed off.]
"H-HEY!! What the fuck did you just say about me, you BASTARD?!?"

The Smooth and Sensitive Couverture
West Sector / Rookie
Age: 19
Substance: Break Beats (sound-based seismokinesis)
Brad's younger brother. He idolised his brother and became a "Hero" because of him. However, he gradually grew a complex and eventually became distant from him.
He hates bothersome things and has a "might as well" attitude when it comes to work. He DJs as a hobby and the club is his playground.
Since he can't help but become popular, he would always go out with a few girls at once and would often be dragged into fights because of it.
[VOICE TYPE]
Pitch: Medium-low
Traits: Sensual, Playboy, Relaxed, Carefree, Casual, Chill, Indifferent, Avoids trouble
Faith has a smooth and playful voice that makes the girls swoon. He never seems to lose his cool. If he gets angry, he sounds annoyed and speaks under his breath. He’s the type who can actually be serious and intuitive - it’s just bothersome.
A quirk of his is that he tends to use quotes even when it isn’t needed. In English, this can be represented by the use of air quotes, adding something like "I'm telling you" to his sentences, or a verbal tic.
Direction: For the line "Got it, got ih-t~," the final "it" is dragged out into two syllables [ih- and -t] with a short pause in between, and the -t is pronounced rather harshly.
(In battle, against the opponent) [Normal speech; verbal tic. Following orders, but laid back.]
“Got it, got ih-t~.”
(In battle, Burst (Regular)) [Humming; slightly descending tone. Playful, carefree. About ~1 second long.]
"Hm-hm-hm-hmm~ ♪"
[Normal speech. Unconcerned, chill.]
“Yeah yeah, no need to panic."
[Raising voice. Eager, passionate, in the groove, yet still laid back.]
“Get into the beat!”

[HERO FILES]
The Uneagerly Negligent Mentor
West Sector / Mentor
Age: 28
Substance: Invisible Force (psychokinetic abilities)
A negligent mentor who has zero willingness to guide his rookies into the right path.
He's one of the strongest even though his sloppy mannerisms and lifestyle and frequent hangovers (even at work) don't show it all.
He'd often get scolded by Brad, a classmate from the Academy, and he'd push it off to the side as if it's nothing.
He can't live without alcohol and cigarettes, so he'd spend his off-time drinking until the sun rises.
[VOICE TYPE]
Pitch: Low
Traits: Unmotivated, Uneager, Exhausted, Disinterested, Negligent, Reluctant, Hungover
Keith has a raspy voice. When normally speaking, he sounds monotone, tired, and unmotivated. When he’s feeling hungover or is being scolded at, his voice sounds slightly guttural. He’s the type who would complain and is reluctant to change his ways.
When he says something that is meant to be praise, he “raises his voice” as if pretending to be motivated, but is instead bored and sarcastic about it, almost as if he’s mocking a Hero’s duties.
When he's actually fired up, he can sound pretty confident and cocky.
(In battle, supporting an ally) ["Raising voice". “Praising” his teammate, actually sarcastic.]
“Stay alive, would ya~?”
(In battle, Burst (Regular)) [Normal speech. Reluctant, but feeling like he has no choice.]
“‘Take responsibility already,’ you say…”
[Shouting. Fired up.]
“HAAAH! HERE YA GO!”
[Back to normal. Cocky, finished the job.]
"Smell ya~."

Love and Peace...☆
West Sector / Mentor
Age: 28
Substance: Werewolf (lycantrophic transformation)
His profile (and inclusion itself) contains spoilers for the in-game story, so I'll be keeping details to a minimum.
The "Lost Mentor" of HELIOS. He returned as a mentor for West Sector's 13th class.
He was Brad and Keith's cheerful and friendly classmate from their Academy days who acted as a mediator for the two who weren't on the best of terms. Both Brad and Keith are counting on him to rebuild the dysfunctional West Sector.
As a mentor, he's quite supportive of his teammates and cares about their well-being. He wants to prove himself as a trustworthy and capable ally, since not everyone has accepted his sudden return.
His favourite food is pizza, and his favourite phrase is "Love and Peace".
[VOICE TYPE]
Pitch: Medium
Traits: Friendly, Energetic, Positive, Upbeat, Reliable, Caring, Wants to prove himself
Dino’s voice is loud-spoken with a slight rasp. He has two variances in his voice. The first one, when speaking normally, is a mature, yet cheerful and warm tone. The second one, when raising his voice, is a more energetic, upbeat, and slightly more nasal tone. When shouting in battle, he sounds fired up and confident with a somewhat raspy tone.
The key here is balancing his energy to his age and role as a mentor. Although he looks and acts younger than he actually is, he shouldn't sound like a teenager.
(In battle, taking damage.) [Normal speech; A bit under breath. Hurt, bewildered, but not angry.]
"How clumsy of me...!"
(In battle, Burst (4 stars)) [Shouting. Fired up, confident.]
"Hey hey, I wonder if you can keep up?!"
(After battle, upon victory. Context: Keith mentions they'll celebrate with a toast. Dino's looking forward to it.) [Raising voice. Happy.]
"Sounds good! But instead of a toast, how about a pizza party?"

[HERO FILES]
Inside-Out Inferiority Complex
East Sector / Rookie
Age: 25
Substance: Madness Mist (mist-dependent invisibility)
Due to extreme stranger anxiety, he's very weak in interacting with other people. He was finally able to pass the Hero exam after failing the tryouts two times prior.
Asch was a classmate when he was in the Academy who frequently bullied him. He became a "Hero" to get rid of his geeky past but is still struggling to do so due to lack of self-confidence.
His only friend is his pet dog Buddy, but he secretly hopes he can make other friends.
His gaming skills seem to be of a professional level.
[VOICE TYPE]
Note: Getting both of Gray’s personalities right may prove to be a challenge but are equally important, as Jet's brief appearance has to be all the more impactful.
Note 2: Jet is the type of character who swears.
Personality 1 (Gray)
Pitch: Medium to medium-high (more on the medium side)
Traits: Reclusive, Unconfident, Shy, Anxious, Polite, Modest, Gentle, Pacifist
Gray's normal speaking voice is soft-spoken, preferably with a nasal quality to reflect his reclusive self. When happy, he’s pure and truly appreciative to those who treat him well. When fighting, he struggles with the idea of having to harm others yet still fulfilling the duties of a Hero. He’s unable to control his split personality, Jet, from taking over when put under pressure.
He tends to stutter a little, but only at the beginning of his sentences (as indicated in the script).
Personality 2 (Jet)
Pitch: Medium to medium-low (more on the medium side)
Traits: Violent, Fearless, Hostile, Vicious, Merciless, Cocky, Loud-mouth
Jet’s voice is rough, vicious, and somewhat raspy. He’s the manifestation of Gray’s trauma from being bullied and his built-up anger towards Asch. If the auditionee uses a nasal tone for Gray, Jet's voice can still retain such a quality.
Note that his voice doesn't necessarily have to be lower in pitch than Gray's.

(After battle, upon victory) [Normal speech. Happy, relieved, in agreement]
"Y-yes…! It's thanks to everyone's help!"
(In battle, Burst (4 stars)) (Meant to be timed with animation, but no need for the sake of auditioning.)
[Normal speech. Determined, but internally struggling]"I-… I need to do better…”
[Transition: Normal speech, shaking, to Raising voice, struggling to control himself]
"As I thought… I-I can't co-!" *gasp*
[Quickly transition into the following line. As Jet; Transition: Raising voice, cocky, then Shouting, merciless.]
"Rot in hell, you shithead!" "I’LL MURDER YOU IN COLD BLOOD!"

[HERO FILES]
The FANTASTIC!ally Cheerful Informant
East Sector / Rookie
Age: 19
Substance: Cyber String (electro-charged strings)
Always cheerful and always looking and acting flashy and says whatever comes to mind.
Due to his extreme dexterity, he worked part time as a handyman when in the Academy. Even after being a "Hero", he continues to work as an informant whose intel never lets you down. He'll accept any request as long as there's money involved.
He always has candy or gum in his pocket and has a tendency to give people strange names.
[VOICE TYPE]
Pitch: Medium
Traits: Cheerful, Friendly, Energetic, Easy-going, Flashy, Childish, Curious, Crafty, Eccentric
Billy's voice is "sing-song" with a slight to somewhat raspy quality. He should sound friendly and inviting with an infectious energy. He never seems to get angry - rather, he'd sound disappointed that the fun is ruined.
When raising his voice, he likes to speak in an almost exaggerated manner and can even be childish and eccentric at times, such as using multiple pronouns to refer to himself.
(In battle, Burst (Regular))
[Normal speech. Sneering, playful, anticipating - think: rubbing hands together]“Wonder what will come out?”
[Shouting. Delighted. Come to a finish!]
“FANTASTIC!! ☆”
(After battle, upon victory) [Raising voice. Celebrating, happy to be praised by Jay]
"Praised by *the* superhero! We did it, right Gray?"

[HERO FILES]
Money, Power, and Respect!
East Sector / Mentor
Age: 25
Substance: Center of Gravity (gravikinetic abilities)
The son of a wealthy millionaire. Since he lived in an environment that allowed him to do as he pleases, he would often try to get people to yield to him with violence. He firmly believes that everything you do is good if you are a good person.
While he was often spoiled due to his family, his own strength as a "Hero" is no joke. Despite this, he still craves for more power.
He used to bully Gray when they were both in the Academy.
[VOICE TYPE]
Note: Asch is the type of character who swears, but he has only light cursing ("hell") in the script.
Pitch: Medium-low
Traits: Arrogant, Aggressive, Intimidating, Cocky, Rough, Loud-mouth, Egotistical
When speaking normally, Asch has an arrogant and cocky tone with a somewhat raspy quality, but it's not necessarily loud. He sounds especially loud, raspy, and intimidating only when raising his voice.
He should sound ‘spoiled rotten’ since he’s always been able to do whatever he wants and walk away scot-free. He’s the type who would never bow down to others or admit if something was his fault. He takes his duties as a Hero seriously - as far as fighting goes.
(In battle, receiving aid) [Normal speech. Annoyed. Is a *bit* grateful, but not showing it.]
*scoff* "Yeah, thanks.”
(In battle, against the opponent) [Shouting. Condescending, threatening]
“You’re MY PREY!”
(After battle, upon victory) [Normal speech. Egotistical, taking credit for his team's victory]
"The hell are you guys on about? We won thanks to me."

[HERO FILES]
The Worldly-Wise Legendary Hero
East Sector / Mentor
Age: 37
Substance: Road of Million (superhuman strength)
A veteran superhero that has been one for many years. A cheerful and honest man who prioritises the well-being of New Million's citizens above anything else as a "Hero". Both his popularity and strength are above any and all and, despite this fact, he prefers being seen as an equal to the next generation rather than being seen as an almighty superior.
He has a 9-year-old son from a previous marriage of whom he rarely sees as his son lives with his ex-wife.
He was also Keith and Brad's ex-mentor.
[VOICE TYPE]
Pitch: Medium-low
Traits: Heroic, Leader, Mature, Honest, Humble, Brave, Reliable, Rational, Supportive, Role model, Fatherly
Jay represents the ideal Hero and role model for the rookies. His normal speaking tone often sounds as if he’s raising his voice since he’s always energetic and ready to take on anything. His voice should strike a balance between being friendly since he has the ability to joke around when appropriate, and being serious and resolute when put in a dire situation.
(In battle, supporting allies) [Normal speech. Determined, but not dead serious]
“I must set a good example.”
(In battle, Burst (Regular)) [Transition: Normal speech, determined, serious, to Shouting, resolute]
“We’ll protect this city… at ALL COSTS!”
(After battle, upon victory) [Normal speech. Levelheaded, rational, supportive]
"Everyone did well. This is the triumph of our teamwork."
